You all need to watch Hunter X Hunter!
Its really good. One of the best anime's I've seen in a while and theres over 100 episodes. So get to it guys!

Quote from: Shinobi-san on May 06, 2014, 07:29 PMYeah I just rarely feel a longing for crazy long anime. I think the longest one I've watched is Monster. Now that was dang good.
Hmmm that's exactly where I'm at. I wonder if i will lose interest as well?
I hope not. Its been a while since i found an exciting long running anime. All the good anime's i have watched recently have been short series with really high quality.
Anime like Sword Art Online, Attack on Titan etc.

Just watched two anime movies in a row! Well, the first was short, only 45 minutes.
They are 'The Garden of Words' and 'The Wolf Children'. Both of them great, especially Wolf Children. Now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside
Quote from: darkknightkryta on May 28, 2014, 05:55 PMIsn't that just movies in general, though? They are longer than TV shows and they're telling a continuous story like many TV shows do.

Quote from: Raven on Jun 02, 2014, 02:22 AMMy thoughts exactly. She's my favorite.
Silly question of me to ask considering you have Matsu, Sekirei No. 2, as your avatar.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 02, 2014, 02:23 AM
My thoughts exactly. She's my favorite.
Quote from: Raven on Jun 02, 2014, 02:26 AMBoth are awesome choices.
Mine is a toss up between Kazehana and Tsukiumi.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 02, 2014, 02:28 AM
Both are awesome choices.
Matsu is techy with giant two natural pines so she gets my vote.
Quote from: Raven on Jun 02, 2014, 03:03 AMMakes sense, I actually like that about Matsu.
The only thing that puts me off about Matsu is that she's sneaky and way too forward. Kazehana is forward too but hers is a more flirtatious and seductive manner. I would half expect Matsu to suddenly scream "LET'S BONE!". Tsukiumi is just the very strong girl but very sensitive underneath and there would probably never be a dull moment with her.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Jun 02, 2014, 01:13 PMOoh, I started to watch that. I might need to watch it more seriously then.
Kazehana's amazing. I'm almost done watching Kill La Kill. It's pretty amazing. Though, I don't think I'd watch it again like some other animes.
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 02, 2014, 01:20 PMI love how she carefully puts her back down.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Jul 07, 2014, 03:48 PMHard to explain. It's basically about a guy travelling around the country dealing with "supernatural" things called Mushi (they are neither dead nor alive and take many different forms). Excellent music, art and many interesting stories. Each episode is (usually I think) one story.
@Pezus what's it about?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 14, 2014, 05:52 PMYeah. Kill La Kill is awesome in the animation department. They tone it down later on though :(
Finished the first season or whatever of Sword Art Online. I love it.
Watched the first two episodes of Kill la Kill. It's way weird and super animated.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Jul 14, 2014, 06:01 PMI wouldn't say awesome it does have awesome animated moments, but there are also moment where they used horrid cgi and times where it looked like a powerpoint presentation.
Yeah. Kill La Kill is awesome in the animation department. They tone it down later on though :(
Quote from: DrakeSnake on Jul 14, 2014, 06:43 PMI disagree, there's very few anime out there that's animated as well and keeps up its art style. Naruto for instance loses its art style when animating fast paced scenes.

Quote from: DrakeSnake on Jul 14, 2014, 10:35 PMThat's what I'm trying to say. I actually didn't notice that part in Kill LA Kill, but I sure notice when Naruto turns to crud. Plus very few anime actually offer you that kind of animation like that (Naruto is indeed one of them). Let alone with that quality.

Quote from: DrakeSnake on Jul 29, 2014, 05:09 PMSounds like a relatively big con. What was it called?
So I went to my local anime con. I had a great time. The cosplay was awesome as always. There was this really hot Bayonetta cosplay chick also a really good Biig Daddy cosplayer it a working drill. Its also funny when a Naruto cosplayer was posesing with the big daddy. Cannot look more out of place. Also saw Big Boss eatting a pizza snd Sasuke pissing in a urinal lol.
Also had The Order and TLoU ps4 demo. The order looks so much like a movie although i think they have to work on the gunplay a bit more. TLoU is just a masterpiece.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Jul 29, 2014, 05:10 PMAnime Con & Games. Yeah not really creative.

Is it just or this the best anime ever? Its funny because i never see people talk about it. Its not on any most popular lists or favourite anime lists etc. But my god this is good. It can get seriously emotional at times and it just makes you feel good about life and doing something more with it.

I need to start seriously watching anime again.
I've been taking breaks from watching One Piece so more eps will come out before I watch them daily.
Anyways I need to start and complete Monogatari Season 2 first since that was the last thing that I watched few months ago (2 eps though).
I blame Shakugan No Shana - watching all 3 seasons in a row killed my interest in anime due to the modern otakuness and ecchi/romance s*** in the series.
Edit: Wow S*** gets censored to Shame o.O

Quote from: Shinobi-san on Sep 17, 2014, 06:38 PMIt got so bad O_O. They honestly needed to have dealt with Sasuke early on. I think that's what was hurting the story. Like deal with his issues early in the Shippuden arc and then have Sasuke be like the Vegeta or Hiei. Now Sasuke is past redeeming at this point and should be killed off, but that's not gonna happen :/.
The first half of Naruto..so good. I doubt we will see many anime's top that.
So sad to see how Naruto is now compared to what it was back then.
Quote from: DrakeSnake on Sep 17, 2014, 04:08 PMNah they can't; Elmo's the Anime North Champion. He has been since they started wrestling at Anime North.

Quote from: Raven on Sep 18, 2014, 12:04 AMIsn't One Piece good though? Black Lagoon is getting issues trickling in. It's just hard to tell if the scanlators are behind or if the issues are coming out sporadically. High School of the Dead had one issue made and funded by Yen Press (The U.S.A. licensee of the manga). Guess that issue didn't make the money they wanted to continue funding the series, or something.
Meanwhile, manga that I actually give a shame about like Black Lagoon and High School of the Dead continue to be on hiatus. The D.Grayman anime will never be finished, either. Thank whatever god you believe in that One Piece keeps fudgy going, though. Wouldn't want them to finally fudgy conclude that piece of shame now would we?

Same with Naruto, but the more I try to watch it, the more cringe worthy it gets. Inuyasha's another one I have to watch through for nostalgia's sake.

Lol I didn't make it sound like anything. I simply pointed out what he was referring to. The one thing about Bleach that always pissed me off is the inconsistency of the main character. How he goes from an angsty teenager, to a real badass, back to angst, back to badass, rinse and repeat.

Quote from: Proxy-Pie on Sep 20, 2014, 03:39 PMIt does to an extent. Though the days of ultra long anime that require filler are winding down. Once Naruto's over there'll only be Fairy Tail and One Piece. But from what I understand One Piece doesn't have much filler.
Bah, Teenagers :P
I never watched the fillers and nobody should even watch it. I've only watched the Canon episodes and even those have small bits of inconsistency with the manga.

Something I just LOVE about Bleach though is the fact that it follows the Manga extremely well compared to other animes, I'm sure the Tokyo Ghoul fandom would've loved to have that quality :P
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Sep 20, 2014, 10:31 PMIt's not just the Canon/Filler amount, it's the fact that the Manga and Anime have identical art styles. The animation team is really talented!

So Naruto is ending in a month, or week, I'm not quite too sure what the date is.
"NARUTO series will END on 11/10, FINAL EPISODE on Shonen Jump."
Not sure if November 10, or Ocotober 11th.
Quote from: DrakeSnake on Oct 06, 2014, 08:14 PMI know, it should have ended 300 chapters ago.

Quote from: NeverDies on Oct 07, 2014, 04:26 AMI've always wanted to watch it cause I liked the way the main character was drawn. But I never got around to it. Though I'm starting to get back into an anime mood. Not sure what I want to watch though.
Anyone here ever seen Ergo Proxy? It's probably my favorite anime. I loved the art direction.

That makes it even funnier.

Quote from: DrakeSnake on Oct 18, 2014, 03:53 PMI actually quite liked what they did with the Fullbringer arc. It was a breath of fresh air. It had an actual build up, and the way everyone had turned on Ichigo cause of that dude's fullbring. It was making me pretty tense. Even the fights were pretty good and had a bit of psychology to it. This current arc is a thrown together mess. Sad thing is, he spent 5 weeks planning this arc :/

I honestly think he's just burned out on his own creation. This entire final arc feels more like a hastily thrown together work of tying up loose ends than an actual planned, satisfying story ender.

I really liked bleach... there are some great animes out there... I just hate getting suckered into an anime for it later to turn into a soft bad stuff type show... or be interested in a story that has a bunch of non pg scenes

So while we were playing the Street Fighter Deck Building game, we ended up watching half of Persona 4 the animation. I Just found out Baker only played Kanji for half the series before he went on his honeymoon :/. Oh well. I also think Troy Baker is the coolest voice actor ever, after watching some of his panels. Also does anyone know if UK blu rays work on NTSC players? I wanna import Persona 4 blu ray since it has both dubs.

Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 17, 2014, 01:11 AMEveryone gets married. Choji marries one of the rock genin, who you see for a full 4 chapters. Sasuke gets off scott free, gets the girl, and has an affair with Karin. That last part I made up since Sasuke and Sakura give birth to a girl who looks exactly like Karin, glasses and all. Naruto doesn't fix the ninja world like he's been screaming about for 700 issues, they show the 5 shadows as old and decrepit. Especially bad for the mist shadow, they took such an exotic, intimidating woman and ruined her character. They tell you nothing of Orochimaru and the rest of Hebi. Or anyone else for that matter. It was a generic ending that solved nothing. 700 chapters and nothing got done.
Spoiler please.

Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 17, 2014, 02:40 AMYeah. That's who Naruto had kids with. Like, that didn't bug me too much, but the fact that Sasuke caused all this shame, to end up with the girl and to be forgiven, blows my mind because of the stupidity. Like, Sasuke tried to kill her!
So Naruto didnt get Sakura..........SAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA
lol
I should watch the entire anime now that the series is over.
Edit: So Naruto is foreveralone?
Edit 2: Nvm forgot about Hinata or w/e her name was, the girl with the weird eyes.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Nov 22, 2014, 03:00 AM
So I rewatched Episode 3 of Bleach. What they did with the guitar was crazy. It was so eerie, yet simple. Not as good as the original Naruto OST or Inuyasha. I'll say though, it's better than any of the generic "crud" we're getting now in anime (Listening to the music in Boo Kai is saddening). Still Bleach's lore was pretty slick, too bad they didn't do much more with it. Though I decided to try to watch it through with the filler. My biggest complaint with the manga is the lack of character development. I literally forgot about the girl with glasses @_@ and Kon. So hopefully the filler can "fill" the void.

Quote from: DrakeSnake on Nov 22, 2014, 05:55 PMThat's kinda why I'm gonna try the filler out. I have a feeling both Bleach and Naruto' manga were being written with the anime in mind. Like half way through, they just threw character development out. Maybe in hopes of using filler in the anime to sell it. So the character development that should have happened in the manga is in the filler. At least, that's my conspiracy theory.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Nov 22, 2014, 08:02 PMIm theory is more simple they use filler just to give the manga alot more time gap if the anime is catching up to fast. The only filler that i enjoy are mostly comedy centeric ones.

Quote from: DrakeSnake on Nov 23, 2014, 10:24 AMI know. But look at Naruto, they literally set up fights and didn't show any of them. Which were conveniently shown in he Anime.

Quote from: NeverDies on Nov 23, 2014, 07:15 PMYup, it's why I stopped watching those long anime. But I'm reconsidering for Bleach and Naruto, since my biggest complaint was the lack of character development, that may be in the filler. Plus with Naruto, they literally left things out to put in the anime.
I don't really like filler. So often it changes the tone of the show, because they're literally stalling for time.
Quote from: NeverDies on Dec 23, 2014, 10:39 PMIts a really awesome show so over the top and them manly poses!!!
I just finished watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventures and JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Stardust Crusaders. It was probably one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Dec 23, 2014, 03:47 AMIm a 90s kid so my anime at that time consist of pokemon, digimon, Yugioh and dragonball at my early days i just consider them the same as cartoons XD
Thought I'd share a random anime story from me. So when I was younger, I think when I was in grade 6, I went to Italy in the summer. Now in Italy, there's only 8 channels, and of those 8 channels, they regularly show anime. Throughout the day. Now Cat Eyes was one of the anime I saw. Another, I couldn't remember the name. But it was weird. So there was a male character and a female character. They were at a cafe. The female lead was playing cards. The guy had run in. Then randomly a biker gang walks in. Now the female lead looked like Sailor Mars. She gets into a fight with them and she throws one of the cards between one of the biker's eyes. I was like "WTF?" So anyways, he gets sent to another dimension with a little girl. Now I had no idea what this anime was called. So this anime was in the back of my mind for a while. Fast forward to my university days. So I asked my friend if he knew what it was from that vague card throwing description. He didn't know. I asked him on MSN maybe after school finished or a little before again. I mentioned the power to go to other dimensions. He then gave me the name: Kimagure Orange Road. So I managed to "Find it" and low and behold, at the last episode, there was a girl who looked like Sailor Mars throwing a card in between a a biker's eyes. It was the same anime! So remember, if there's a random anime you don't remember the name of ask a friend! P.S. it's a good comedy, albeit old. Probably one of the first love triangle comedy animes. Check it out.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 25, 2014, 04:25 AMI honestly set up a PS TV (The monitor) in my room (It's my friend's monitor) and just stream from my laptop to it. I watch an episode or two of anime before I head to bed.
I haven't watched anime in a while. Except I watched some Death Note recently.
Hmmm, wish there was more time in the day.

Quote from: Raven on Jan 06, 2015, 02:15 PMYeah. an adult game from what I hear. It's just I was really interested in the season finale that I couldn't wait a few months for the next season. So I went to read the manga. The other thing is that I didn't watch the original series and my friend was telling me that Saber getting taken over didn't happen. But it's there in the manga. Though I'm not sure I can get into the original series. It seems like they took the story and had filler people write it. But the comedy is way better in the original. I actually miss that exaggerated comedy.
From what I understand, the whole Fate Stay series is actually based on a game with different possible outcomes.

Quote from: DrakeSnake on Jan 07, 2015, 12:24 AMIt's possible. It's just that the events follow the manga closely, including the characterizations. Like Blade Works is very different from the original. But Blade Works is very close to the manga. Not sure what's going to happen in the spring though. They don't have enough episodes to get that far past Berserker.

Love the song. Need to get back into the anime.
Quote from: Raven on Feb 05, 2015, 06:03 AMYeah that one. It's so avant-garde evil. Plus the music in general's amazing. We were watching the OVA during Halloween, my two friends break out into singing when Don't Lose Your Way started playing. Such epic music. Kinda sad music in anime's been going downhill. Have you listened to the last set of episodes for Dragon Ball Kai? The new episodes. The music is soo bad. It sounds like Sonic music.
Blumenkranz? Love that one. I thought the anime was great. I was a little put off by it at first. Then the two natural pines and dog got my attention. Then as I kept watching I started enjoying the ridiculous story, the characters, and some of the humor.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 06, 2015, 03:48 AMDid you start at episode 1?
I've been watching ridiculous amounts of Naruto.
About 65 episodes in the past 6 days.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Mar 06, 2015, 07:38 PMOf course I started at 1.
Did you start at episode 1?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 06, 2015, 08:47 PMYeah, Naruto keeps full steam all the way to episode 128.
Of course I started at 1.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 07, 2015, 05:40 AMYeah. I remember when I first started watching. Caught up to the japanese release in like a week.
Been averaging 13+ episodes a day.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 10, 2015, 06:44 PMDo you know the answer to that?
Playing NUNS Revolution
Plying as Pain.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 10, 2015, 08:52 PMYou mentioned you were watching Naruto, so I was sure if you caught up/read manga or not so I wasn't sure if you knew. Though, I'm still missing a lot of context here as to why mentioning the rinnegan as a form of sharingan is a problem? Like, who's saying that? Is it Pain himself? Or is it someone else who's fighting him?Spoiler for Hidden:

There's just something about the director, Watanabe. Kids on the Slope was also great.
Has anyone seen Terror in Resonance (also by Watanabe)?
It's on Netflix apparently! Didn't know about it until now when I looked him up
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 19, 2015, 08:20 PMIt was a big theme. The sorrow and solitude. Essentially, you'll be sorry if you're lonely. Thus Naruto tries everything he can to not be lonely. Works out nicely. Unless your Sasuke which means you loneliness gets you everything -_-
I finished episode 117 of Naruto. (Hulu apparently only goes to 117 for dub) Probably the 3rd or 4th time I watched it. Want to give a little review on it.Spoiler for Hidden:
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Mar 20, 2015, 01:46 AMI haven't read/watched the ending yet, but I read something and from the sounds of it, and if I'm wrong about it, please tell me, but don't spoil the ending for me!

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 20, 2015, 01:59 AMYeah Sasuke doesn't even get a slap on the wrist. Like, the way I see it, the way Sasuke's character was being built, he literally needed to die. Or turn him into a true villain where Naruto needed to put him down so to speak. Instead they just flip flopped through the whole thing. Funny thing is; Sasuke never truly redeems himself. A whole lot of non-sense.

That's what it sounded like to me.
I mean that can be the ending, but this at the bolded. Sasuke can come back sure, that'd be great. Naruto promised that would be what he would do. But Sasuke needed to do something too. He did some bad stuff. The story should have had a turn around arc at the very least.
Quote from: Pezus on Mar 20, 2015, 03:30 PMExactly :P . Is the Order a Rabbit is a ... guess a shojo anime. It's about a bunch of elementary school girls working at a cafe in what looks to be a victorian era looking town. The town itself is in modern times, but the architecture looks old. It's a very light hearted, slice of life manga. Short though, 12 episodes. I wouldn't call Sekirei non-mainstream. Rosario Vampire though? That's a toughie. The manga is big enough, but the anime really isn't.
Since I've seen neither: Sure!!!!!!Wat?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 21, 2015, 04:17 AMDid they screw up the episode numberings?
Watching Bleach
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 12, 9, 6, I've never had to count this high before, I should be at 10 by now
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Mar 24, 2015, 12:28 AMNo, its in the episode with the guy at the gate when they get to the soul society. The guy with the two axes, uses his 10 something or other. Idk, it was like 20 episodes ago now.

I never knew what the anime's name was until I managed to find it just now.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Apr 07, 2015, 07:41 PM
So I was on some Dragon Ball forums; very big set of elitists. They were trashing Viz' bluray release of Sailor Moon. Funny thing is, they were saying that Toei's remaster is better. So I popped my Bluray in to compare to the images they put in. They were almost identical... There was some brightness/saturation differences, but brightness differences is due to the ntsc standard in Japan vs here. Saturation could be any number of things, including having a messed up TV of mine.

Quote from: Raven on Apr 11, 2015, 09:07 PMThing that bugs me, is that Viz didn't have much to work with for their release, and from the looks of things, neither did Toei. So they took their DVD master that Toei made from betas, upres'ed them and tried to filter it so it didn't look like dog. The end result is something pretty decent and almost in line with most current cartoon restorations. Is it as nice as something like Ranma? No, but that company had the film reels to work with. Not sure what the DVD portion of the discs are like though. Those might have been scrubbed clean, and if they were I'd be disappointed with. The Blurays though; are as good as we'll get.
I've noticed a disgusting number of people who trash Western releases of anime for no good reason. Yeah, a lot of anime gets terrible dubbing but there are plenty that are done very well and sometimes even much better than the Japanese original.
Quote from: Raven on Apr 11, 2015, 09:07 PMI see this so often. :o

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 12, 2015, 03:24 AMThe English VA and Japanese VA for Pegasus (Yugioh) sound and act identically. It's scary.
I see this so often. :o
On a different note, the really funny thing is when the character from the Japanese and English versions sound the same. I think there is a character or two in Naruto that sound the same, but I'm not sure. It's been a while.

So after Anime North I tend to go on an anime binge. I need about 6 anime to watch (I can squeeze 6 episodes into 2 hours, which is all I normally have a night).
So I was thinking of finally finishing off Ouran High School Host Club. I have like 3 episodes left, but I didn't wanna finish since I knew it'd be over if I did :(.
Probably gonna finish off Dragon Ball Z cause that's 15 or so episodes left.
Fate/Stay started up again so that's going to the queue.
Full Metal will probably be added.
Not sure for after that. Any suggestions?

Quote from: darkknightkryta on May 07, 2015, 12:53 AMWhy'd you have them do that? ;)
So I had a student tell me today that I'm not the type of person to watch anime O_O
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 07, 2015, 12:58 AMShe had an interesting looking wallpaper. I couldn't recognize the anime, it was probably a shojo anime of some kind. It looked like fan art, nothing official. I asked her what it was but she thought I was some kind of poser. I had to remind her that I was watching anime since before she was born.
Why'd you have them do that? ;)
lol, what'd you say?
Personally I would've said "boy/ma'am I've watched more Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, Sekirei, and other anime than you and your little anime watching friends put together."
Not really, but it'd be funny-ish.
QuoteYou live your entire life as a criminal in a desert. The only companionship you have a talking cat. One day, desperate for something of worth in your dirt-ridden existence, you try to rob a teenage girl, a pig, and a small boy. The small boy kicks your teeth out after seeing a girl makes you bashful and embarrassed, and peeping a titty makes you pass out.
When confronted with the possibility of having any wish granted by a magical dragon, your wish would be "I don't want to drop spaghetti while looking at a lady"
You then spend days creeping on these folks, watching for a way to achieve this lofty goal, you are forced to hit a little girl (one of your few [only?] victories) and then hit on her.
Eventually you are captured and saved only when the little kid turns into a giant monkey. The pig does more than you to save the day.
But it's okay, right? You finally got a girlfriend. Well, kind of. You don't really see each other that often.
You decide to show the world your stuff and enter into the Tenkaichi Budokai, the greatest martial arts tournament of all time. You are immediately eliminated in the quarter finals by an old man nobody's heard of before. You embarrass and humiliate yourself by insisting that it's a different old man in disguise before being proven a fool.
The next time you hear from Goku, he's taking on terrorist Nazis or some crazy shame. So you gear up to raid the Hydra base and... you're not needed at all. You get a sinking feeling in your heart, like this won't be getting old soon.
You help Goku fight the fortune teller's fighters. An invisible man beats you up and you barely win when your girlfriend's bosom are gawked at by an old man. You are then beaten up by a mummy.
But the Turtle Hermit, greatest living martial arts master, has taken you in. You'll do well in the next tournament!
Nope. The heel you challenged beats and destroys you in front of a crowd. You are helpless. Like a child. Your legs, broken. By the end of the tournament, the man who brutalized you is declared champion, but he decided to be "nice" now, so you have to pretend that it's okay and you're friends after he annihilated your pride for all to see.
A demon king attacks the world and you stay with the peanut gallery. The bad guy doesn't even bother to go after you despite specifically targeting martial artists. Jesus Christ.
Speaking of God, Goku is training with God now. You feel so very small and weak. M-maybe the next tournament.... ?
The next tournament sees you headbutted in the junk and defeated handily by a middle aged tourist. True, it's God in disguise, but still. Nobody knows that. Yamcha, the desert bandit. His tournament career ended by an old man. That's your public legacy.
(Also you have a scar for some reason, which is kind of pathetic considering that the children who underwent the same training didn't get maimed like you.)
Oh, and Goku gets married before you, and he doesn't even know what marriage is.
Years pass and you become a baseball player. That one glorious period of fame and recognition is going to come to an end. You learn that Goku's dead and it's time for you and the others to take the lead. Time to train under God himself to protect the Earth from deadly alie
nvm you died. krillin destroys several saibamen with a single attack, while you lie lifeless in the dirt. good try though. yajirobe and the five year old do more than you.
For the next few months you sit on a planet while King Kai teaches you jack shame.
You come back to life! Your girlfriend breaks up with you and immediately starts flirting with the guy who got you killed less than a year ago. His power is so strong and big compared to yours, flaccid and tiny. You can only stand around and cry when Frieza comes to Earth, and are filled with joy when he's defeated by a mysterious stranger from the future who gives you a dire warning that you're going to fail in another timeline as well.
After three years of training your ex hooks up with the evil spaceman and they make a baby, who you have to help change the diapers of whenever you swing by
You get punched through the chest by an old man without doing anything. You try to explain that they can steal your energy, but you could have done something before that. You just don't care anymore. You wait until Goku's nearly dead to explain the energy stealing bit, and then take him back home to babysit him as you openly acknowledge your uselessness
Oh and the future stranger is Bulma and Vegeta's badass robot fighting son, and thus the whole fate of two worlds depended on Vegeta and Bulma's amazing sweaty unprotected lovemaking. Nothing has ever depended on you or ever will
Tien does more than you when he holds off the bugman. You just do nothing. Krillin gets a robot girlfriend who barely ages. You get nothing.
A tournament comes around again and the gang is getting together for old time's sake. Even Krillin is going to enter. Good ol' Krillin. Always there for the team. Always in the fight, even when he's outclassed.
You stay in the stands with Krillin's daughter to babysit her. Your ex-girlfriend cheers on her husband and their son, who wins the junior division. You have no son.
When they all fly off to fight Majin Buu nobody even thinks about inviting you to come and help
Nobody ever thinks about you

Have you seen the movie version of Unlimited Works or Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero series?
Unlimited Works series is the only one I havent seen but the rest I have and yes it is full of feels.
Also its worth noting that the "Lancers" in the entire series all get iced in one way or another - wont spoil it to you - lets just say they get iced over lol.

You cant be serious LOL.
Getting rekt is better than getting screwed over by your own master.
Sure Rider gets the worst end on almost all the seasons but at least the representative for rider didnt die from betrayal, etc lol.
Specifically on Fate/Zero - I feel sorry for the lancer on that season - to do something from that horrible master's order to end his life in a horrible way too :(
Quote from: Pezus on May 28, 2015, 06:25 PMSo I keep hearing. Funny story. So Bandai used to release a lot of anime here, Japanese style with 4 episodes per disc for like 40 bucks. Those never sold. Overstock went to the dollar stores. Last year at Anime North, people were looking for the DVD sets. They mentioned they found some at the dollar stores. The whole set on Bluray is 500 dollars now...

I've finished quite a few one seasoners.
poorly executed how?

It's got a pervy monk who keeps hitting on woman regardless of the consequences, who has a black hole thingy in his hand!
It's got a flying 3 eyed cow.
I just don't know what more you could ask for. :(

I don't like any of the recurring characters save for the perverted monk. I feel it's incredibly overrated. You're not going to convince me otherwise because I already tried to like it. I was left very far from liking it. So I will always refer to this anime you like as "crud".

Okay, I need to vent about something regarding a typical anime character type. I am getting REALLY tired of these male characters who act like total pansies around girls who are throwing themselves at them. I'm cool with that character type for the most part. Trying to create an innocent and respectable character. It's also often teenage guys who get easily flustered. I get that. However, it would just be nice for a change for the male characters to be more aggressive a little more often. Like this anime I'm watching right now called The Asterisk War. The hot student council president goes to thank the main male character for his compliance to her request by basically offering him naughtiness and making it pretty clear that it's not against her will at all. That she probably would have done it regardless. She takes his hand and makes him grab one of her two natural pines. This guy totally freaks and runs away. He has no obligation to any other female characters and it seems clear he's not gay. She is quite attractive, she just asked him to put himself in harms way, they are alone, and she's basically top dog of the student body. What. The. fudge?

Though it will probably be a long time from now. It took them 5 years to get started on X2.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Apr 30, 2016, 01:28 AM"Goku. A wedding isn't food!"Basically, the protagonist, Souma Yukihara, is an aspiring cook. He has been helping his dad run their family restaurant for several years and hopes to eventually take it over. However, his dad suddenly decided to close down the restaurant for a few years to cook around the world. He had Souma enroll in Totsuki Academy, a prestigous culinary school that only has a 10% graduation rate, so his son can broaden his horizons.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Jun 02, 2016, 03:22 PMIn Shippuden they just stopped caring and started making new vanilla Naruto episodes, with the older, much superior, music. Sad thing is, they'd just throw these episodes in randomly.Yeah, kind of. The flashback episodes were generally used purposefully, though not any less annoying.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Jun 03, 2016, 02:12 AMI think I could have stomached Shippuden if they didn't change composers. Naruto probably has the greatest soundtrack in a show ever. Period.I'm not sure if I think it the greatest, but I totally agree. The original soundtrack was much better; and honestly the biggest thing in my mind is that it was also used so much better.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 03, 2016, 05:35 AMYeah, kind of. The flashback episodes were generally used purposefully, though not any less annoying.Sadness and Sorrow is the saddest song I've ever heard in my life. Not in a bad way, but because of the way it brings emotion to any scene. Like when young Lee was jumping rope and he tripped and fell. Then he started crying cause he was trying so hard. Then I started crying cause of all the feels. All while Sadness and Sorrow was playing. I actually warned my sister when YTV (Nickelodeon's Canadian equivalent), was showing that arc. I warned her to skip that episode cause it was so sad. She couldn't handle it at the time and didn't watch it. Point is. No soundtrack gives this kind of emotion. Sadness or hype (Some older music was really fast paced and epic), Naruto's music is unchallenged.

The music was used so much more effectively to give feelings of intensity, sadness, excitement. So much better utilized in the original series. You can like think back to certain scenes in the series, and music starts playing in your head from that moment. The sad music was always just great, there were moments I remember tearing up just because of how it all went together.
Just fricken amazing. I definitely have to say, easily one of the best.
This seems to be shippuden? One of the better ones.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Oct 17, 2016, 03:39 AMThe last few episodes of Naruto have been pretty good, I think.It hasn't ended yet?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 11, 2016, 08:03 PMThis fight needed have happened earlier, and the last half should never have happened. Either that or Sasuke should have died. I also disagree, Naruto was just as bad as Bleach. I guess Bleach just had bad fillers? I also don't think the person who made this video doesn't realize that Kishimoto stopped writing/drawing. He had his honey moon, they stopped Naruto for a few weeks for it. He's also wrong about Naruto's art that I don't think the author realizes. Naruto's art did get better, the character models are WAY better later on. The backgrounds took a hit. But that goes back to Kishimoto not drawing anymore, I'm also sure he stopped writing too. *I was typing this as I was watching, looks like the author figured out what I did but I think he underestimates management mucking with things.
Solid video, I think.
I would love to see Naruto redone. :o

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 12, 2016, 12:03 AMI was all confuzzled.What he's saying is that Kishimoto was burned out, which led to his art and story getting worse. I'm saying he wasn't even writing/drawing at all. The new artist's drew characters with better detail, but the backgrounds got worse. The writing got terrible cause he wasn't writing and Jump/Pierrot probably took over writing duties. He was probably just setting up outlines and overseeing things. Like, the entire ninja war was setup to handle anime filler. Which is the manga's biggest problem with that arc, since it was so disjoint and rushed. That part was also a huge chunk of the story. He most likely passed off drawing to his assistants starting in the second half of the series, and then handed off writing duties after Naruto learns the Wind Rasengan.
I don't think he uses the words management, but he implies it by talking about the rigorous schedule that they have to go to.
He talks about Naruto's art getting simpler. I don't recall him saying worse.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 12, 2016, 02:46 PMDKK, he literally says that Kishimoto wasn't drawing anymore, because he got burned out.Yeah, that's why I added in my original post that I realized what he was saying. I typed most of that as he was talking and didn't want to change it. I just think he underestimates how much of the writing/drawing was taken over. Bleach might have been because of burn out, since drawing has been pretty consistent. Maybe there was less planning with the anime people with Bleach than there was with Naruto?
Those go together, not opposing ideas.

Quote from: BasilZero on May 10, 2017, 11:08 PMNever seen build fighters but when you turn a sequel to one of the darkest anime in the Gundam series to a light hearted comedy with some of the villains from the previous anime and some of the major characters into a bunch of jokes, your ratings are gonna go down and people wont watch it.Build Fighters had the fan service pool/beach episode, I'll assume it was a comedy?
Supposedly from what I read, the creator was going through depression and the fact that a lot of major characters died at the series premiere in Gundam Zeta, the creator (with his wife, and his co-workers) decided to make the sequel to Zeta gundam which is Gundam ZZ a comedy.......thankfully from what I heard due to the drop in ratings, they decided to make the 2nd half of the show dark like Gundam Zeta.
It didnt help it though in the end because it was the first Gundam anime not to get dubbed (while Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam Zeta) were the first two Gundam anime and both were dubbed shortly.

Quote from: BasilZero on Jun 10, 2017, 01:13 PMGundam ZZ is complete battleship, cant believe there's a worse gundam than Gundam Seed but lo behold there is.I remember when Gundam Seed came out. My University friends were raving about it. I thought it was terrible. Some of the kids in my summer camp were watching it though... they were 10.
How does a character who jumped to cover someone - did not get hit by anything, no injuries occurred, a rock fell a couple of feet away from her and supposedly that killed her......
While another character got shot in the stomach, then got beaten up with a rod by another character, suffered a fever from the infection, got a mobile suit crashed into the hut she was resting in, exploded and completely caught on fire, suddenly came back alive couple of episodes later with no injuries or burns.
Amazing, simply fricken amazing XD

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Jul 22, 2017, 05:51 PMFairy Tail manga just ended... I would like to have seen Lucy find Aquarius before the end... It was honestly the only thing missing from the ending.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Aug 01, 2017, 05:46 PMTurns out the composer of Kill La Kill composed Attack on Titans. No wonder its OST was so good.
Quote from: BasilZero on Aug 01, 2017, 11:44 PMAoT's OST is awesome.To be honest, the biggest thing that killed Korra was the fact that it was never supposed to be longer than 12 episodes. Because of that, and the overall lower episode count, season 2 was practically destroyed because there wasn't enough time for it. Like what made Air Bender so amazing was that it was an adventure. 20 some odd episodes per season, was enough to give Ang an adventure while working on developing the cast and Zuko. Season 1 barely got by with its 12 episodes, season 2 just was rushed while telling nothing, and was also 14 episodes. Season 3 was just as good as anything Air Bender produced though. OMG Basil, season 3 was crazy. When spoiler stuff happens, all bets are off. My jaw literally dropped at one point. I was like "WTF am I watching?". It was the only thing the show was able to do in like 12 episodes. I haven't finished Season 4 yet, but it looks like it suffers the same issue as season 1 and 2. So pretty much season 1,2 and 4 needed 20 episodes to flesh things out, they never got it. So it was just weirdly disjoint. Korra is still good, but Air Bender is honestly the best show I've ever watched.
I guess after I'm done with Korra I'll watch Kill La Kill
Also I finished The Last Airbender yesterday.
Really good series but Korra from the first two eps I've watched...dont look like I'll like it as much.
It suffers from the same fate that many sequel cartoons or successor cartoons suffer (i.e. Rugrats and "All Grown Up") - targeting teens and forcing modern social issues and politics.
Also dat modernizing. How do you go from medieval setting to a setting with cars and buildings, etc in a span of less than 100 years?

Quote from: BasilZero on Aug 02, 2017, 12:55 AMI hope it its good overall.I think I'm on the last boss. I never finished it though. It was alright.
Also I have the platinum/activision game which is the reason why I decided to start on the Avatar series lol.
Apparently it takes place between seasons 1 and 2 for Korra. I heard its bad....but w/e I guess.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Aug 04, 2017, 02:01 AMI saw some advertising on Facebook. Outlaw Star is returning and they've been showing Stand Alone Complex on Adult Swim?
Quote from: BasilZero on Aug 01, 2017, 11:44 PMAlso dat modernizing. How do you go from medieval setting to a setting with cars and buildings, etc in a span of less than 100 years?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 04, 2017, 02:17 AMAvatar isn't really medieval.
The main series starts out with these sophisticated battle ships, gigantic drills and factories. They had tanks, submarines, airships by the end of it.
The start of the series is probably closer to 1870. Maybe something like 1850.
Cars being common, isn't that bizarre, 70+ years after the invention of the tank.
Technology in the world is probably largely held back by bending. People don't need to invent some fancy thing, because they can just hire someone to do something.
And probably some other aspects of religion in the world.
Additionally there was a lot of variety in the world. The fire nation has pretty sophisticated technology, the southern water tribe was very poor and they didn't really have much. The northern was much further along. Earth kingdom varied from place to place. Some places very poor, others not all that far off from the fire nation.
Quote from: BasilZero on Aug 04, 2017, 02:43 PMEh I guess but still dont like it.They were going for a Steampunk style with Korra. It's a bit jarring at first. You get used to it. But I agree about Air Bender's style. I like it better.
Air bender is way better in setting and writing.
Already seen 7 eps of Korra so far.

Quote from: BasilZero on Aug 04, 2017, 11:14 PMI hope so lolKorra does get better, to be fair. I didn't think it reached the heights of Avatar though
Korra game takes place between seasons 2 and 3 apparently so I'll play it after I'm done with Season 2.
It will be my first Activision published game and 2nd platinum developed game.

Quote from: Dr. Pez on Aug 05, 2017, 10:30 PMOh yeah I recently finished the second season of attack on titan and it was very good but too short :'(
Also, watched the Netflix Castlevania mini series and it was amazing. Hoping for more soon
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Aug 06, 2017, 12:09 AMI'm currently ripping some blurays right now so I'm not sure if I should start something I ripped or maybe finish something. I cleaned up "Is the Order a Rabbit" season 1. I have like 10 episodes of Durarara x2 to finish (I'm so bored with this anime.) I'm maybe 4 episodes into Drfiters. I've been keeping up with Dragon Ball Super, but I haven't watched the previous episodes. I started watching after the Saiyaman fillers. I finished One Punch Man. I don't think I really want more of it to be honest, there's something off about it. I had caught up to My Hero Academia, but I started reading the manga so I stopped watching (I need to stop doing that). So much to watch, I have so many blurays and DVDs of anime. Plus what I want to watch on Stream and stuff. Le sigh.
Quote from: BasilZero on Aug 05, 2017, 11:57 PM3rd season announced for next year - cant wait.I haven't played the games and didn't feel like I needed to to understand the show
I need to get into Castlevania. I think I'll play some of the retro titles and then watch the TV series.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 15, 2018, 12:16 AMWatching avatar.Yeah, Air Bender is honestly tied with Lost as the most emotional show I've watched.
Chills, absolute perfection .
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 19, 2018, 12:58 AMYeah. Though it's a bit weird that Roku would make Yang learn things out of order. At least I recall there being an order in which to learn things.
This is an amazing scene.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 19, 2018, 03:12 AM*Aang.I think it was just unknown writing at the time. Like it was early so they were still figuring things out. Like how they dealt with the spirits in Air Bender vs the Spirits in Korra are completely different.
Someone was arguing that Roku knew what would happen with Katara getting burned and that this was helpful later.
Even ignoring that, I think the issue was that Aang wasn't sure when he'd find d a teacher.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Apr 10, 2021, 11:48 PMAttack on Titans is over. I'll say, it was pretty epic when it first came out. There were so many cosplayers at Anime North the year it came out (And years after). I remember I showed my friend, who doesn't really watch anime, it. He went out and bought the first 12 or whatever episodes that was on Blu-ray. Probably the biggest franchise since Naruto and Bleach (Kill la Kill being big for the year, but too short). I enjoyed the series enough to read the manga. I dropped the series after they went from a flash back into a time skip, but regardless.Wait, how many seasons did they make? Did it drop in quality?
Here's to you Attack on Titans

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Apr 11, 2021, 02:13 AMWait, how many seasons did they make? Did it drop in quality?I think the anime is still going for a bit longer. This is the last season I think? I wanna say it was 5 seasons. I wasn't impressed with a plot point, so I bounced off. It should have been good right up until the end of the manga. I heard the ending was Games of Thrones bad, but I haven't seen either so I won't comment.
